Extinction by graemestevens

Extinction

Not the shot that I wanted to present today but time is pressing. In approximately 3 hours a gaggle of unruly teenaged, hormone and angst ridden females will be descending upon my lair for a Halloween Party the like of which has never been seen - certainly not in this neighbourhood. Needless to say, preparations are in full swing and time is short. Knives have been sharpened, holes have been dug in the garden, all that remains is the preparation of toxic foodstuffs and the opening of copious bottles of wine. If I make it through this unscathed then I am truly a god.
ha! awesome! Loving these x

Hah! I quite like this... Band brave you for playing party host (shudder)... Are boys invited too?
October 31st, 2014  
Awesome! Hope this is not truly the end
Enjoy the party
October 31st, 2014  
@amyleewinfield Thank you very much :)
@northy Boys are most definitely NOT invited. I'm actually thinking of uninviting myself...
@livvy Thanks very much - not the end, just a day from hell!
October 31st, 2014  
The dino looks like he's got both feet headed toward extinction!
October 31st, 2014  
lol-good luck. Neat shot
October 31st, 2014  
Are you suuuuuuuuuuuure?
October 31st, 2014  
This is great - my favorite so far! Good luck with your party - I kind of wish you were my neighbor so I could crash it! Have fun!!
October 31st, 2014  
Turned out pretty cool, I like it :)
October 31st, 2014  
Awesome composition.
October 31st, 2014  
Good luck with the party....don't know if I would be comfortable going to a Halloween party at your house considering some of the images you put up.
October 31st, 2014  
Fun shot, especially on short notice. Good luck with the party... no "un-burying" that sheep's head, now - unless you want them to leave abruptly. Now, there's an idea. :)
October 31st, 2014  
Ha! Great image!
October 31st, 2014  
Have fun ha ha
although I love the whole idea of Halloween I cannot bring myself to partake as it is not part of the culture here.
October 31st, 2014  
What can I say! You did a great shot as usual. Ho! I can say I love it! So creative as always. Good job Graeme :)
October 31st, 2014  
Your creativity will never ever extinct- enjoy the party:)
October 31st, 2014  
Oh no, not poor Reggie, please no, don't annihilate poor Reggie, it's not his fault that you have to suffer this great fun Halloween party. Have fun :)))
October 31st, 2014  
Fav. You must be pressed for time, Reginald didn't leave any tracks! Enjoy the party and especially the whine. ;-)
October 31st, 2014  
So are you the dinosaur about to be stomped (metaphorically by the party)?
October 31st, 2014  
Clever
October 31st, 2014  
Good luck, but if I were you I would run! (far away). I love this shot, poor little dinosaur.
October 31st, 2014  
Great shot, hope the party wasn't too bad!
October 31st, 2014  
yeah.. what @northy said.. aren't they trying to bring them back?!! eeee
October 31st, 2014  
Lol, sounds like a party all right!! Enjoy the party! Totally love the idea & pic!
October 31st, 2014  
I do so hope Reginald was able to move quickly and avoid that giant boot headed his direction. His ventures have been quite entertaining.
October 31st, 2014  
Nice fun shot
October 31st, 2014  
I hope there are no more extinctions tonight. Good luck!
October 31st, 2014  
so cruel Mr Stevens!
October 31st, 2014  
very cool! love it. I would hate to knock on your door for halloween!!! those kids will be scarred!
October 31st, 2014  
great shot, nice docs and hope the party was a success :-)
October 31st, 2014  
Did you survive?
October 31st, 2014  
Great shot!
October 31st, 2014  
I think I'd like to be at your Halloween party - fun photo
October 31st, 2014  
@tasian He'll be back, he seems to be a fast runner
@tracie8266 Thanks very much, on both counts
@northy If there are any boys they will be forcibly ejected from the premises
@tabarlett Thanks very much - the more the merrier but it's a BYO
@shawnasays Thanks very much :)
@anazad511 Thanks very much indeed

@susale Thanks very much :)
@aecasey He managed to get out of the way pretty quickly
@carlt Thanks very much :)
@deliad If they all behave themselves they should escape unscathed
@shepherdmanswife He'll be fine.... ;)
@andrewkru Thanks very much - we don't get many trick or treaters in this neighbourhood but I have managed to terrify them all so far...
@jaynspain Thank you, thank you, and I'll let you know :)
@newbank It has just been announced that several of them are staying the night. Deepest of deep sighs.
October 31st, 2014  
@bizziebeeme Thanks very much :)
@jocasta Thanks very much indeed - just taking a break before we start throwing worms around...
October 31st, 2014  
Females! And the teenage sort... I remember the days.
October 31st, 2014  
The pic: clever idea and the title gives the lie to your intention... Fav.

The party: you're a big pussycat fraud Mr S - you're looking forward immensely to bringing some of your scenarios to life to scare the whatnots out of these girls... have fun!
October 31st, 2014  
Sam
hehehe this is very cool. I'm smiling at your wickedness!
October 31st, 2014  
@graemestevens haha I know
October 31st, 2014  
Awesome capture! I am sure your party will be a big success!
October 31st, 2014  
Haha! Thinking of you tonight, enjoying your sharp knives, and all the other goodies that come with Halloween.
October 31st, 2014  
Love your description, I hope you make it through! I got a good laugh from this and love the shot!
October 31st, 2014  
Oh no, Reginald run, run!
October 31st, 2014  
Lovely shot Graeme...Fav
October 31st, 2014  
Maybe that IS what happened to the dinosaurs, a giant person, with a rather prominent "God-complex", might I add, smashed them all to smithereens....

At least you have had time to post something, which is more than I can say for myself! Party-on Graeme!

A Halloween Party at @gramestevens house!?!! I am so in! You wouldn't mind sharing some of that wine, would ya?
October 31st, 2014  
Enjoy the party!
October 31st, 2014  
That puts him into perspective :-)
October 31st, 2014  
@chippy1402 Doesn't it though ;)
@mzzhope No, I don't think I will...I just can't bear to see people enjoy themselves... ;)
@eyeamlisa Don't mind sharing the wine at all, although after the week I've had you might want to get in quick!
@tonygig Thank you very much :)
@overalvandaan He ran, he's fine...for now...
@lilminimonka I have survived, by the skin of my teeth...and thanks very much
@888rachel Thanks very much - everything was sharpened beforehand...
@janiskay Thanks very much :)
@gigiflower Thanks you kind lady :)
@vignouse Thank you very much - I've managed to successfully scare the bejesus out of several groups of trick or treaters and there was only one near fatality...must try harder next year ;)
@newbank It's been a trial...they're so...so...ugh
@annied You'll be pleased to know that I made sure no one had any fun of any sort.
October 31st, 2014  
Terrific
October 31st, 2014  
Awesome and the God complex comment was a joke. :-)
October 31st, 2014  
Don't trample him, go to his lair. You'll be safe from the females there
October 31st, 2014  
Nooooo. Then again, the extinction is inevitable. I hope you survived the party.
October 31st, 2014  
Bottles of wine, and copious at that, for a gaggle of teenaged females?!! Sounds like the end of the world as we know it!! Hope all survived the stampede..... great shot, BTW!

@neatz Thanks very much :)
@eyeamlisa LOL, thanks and I know ;)
@ceilidh It didn't work
@karlow75 You're probably right, and yes but only just
@panthora Thanks very much - most of them made it out alive
November 1st, 2014  
Keep Dino in a safe place when the party in the full swing! Cool shot.
November 1st, 2014  
@yaorenliu Thanks very much :)
November 1st, 2014  
Great Pic! I would think that Halloween at your house would require a signed consent form lol!
November 1st, 2014  
@creativefool Pretty much - some of them made it out alive though
November 1st, 2014  
great shot
November 1st, 2014  
@denisefuller Thanks very much
November 1st, 2014  
I'm loving Reginald's adventures - I hope he escaped this near death experience to go on and have many more. But I wonder, is he plotting revenge??
November 2nd, 2014  
Maybe it would have been better if you had trodden on him. It might have saved us from what was to come.
November 2nd, 2014  
Really, you should consider writing stories............you are amazing!
November 2nd, 2014  
@essafel He'll be fine...he knows I have a lighter...
@dh LOL, I'd apologies for that but...no.
@lynnilou Thanks very much :)
November 2nd, 2014  
This is so funny!!
November 3rd, 2014  
@jess1204 Thanks very much :)
November 3rd, 2014  
Take cover!!!!
November 5th, 2014  
@golftragic Me and my big boots are on the way!
November 5th, 2014  
@graemestevens I can feel the earth tremor starting!!
November 5th, 2014  
Hahaha...LOVE! Fav
November 7th, 2014  
@skjgraphics Thanks very much :)
November 7th, 2014  
Haha! Great! I hope the party was good!
December 12th, 2014  
@laetitiapetrussa Thanks very much - given that the house was full of teenagers and all I had to do was hibernate in my bedroom with a bottle of wine, I'd say it went quite well.
